Multiple Launch Rocket System: An Ammunition Resupply Challenge

Abstract

A look at one of the most modern battlefield weapons system, and the impact of it on the doctrinal ammunition supply procedures. An analysis of the current and emerging ammunition resupply doctrine is presented based on a divisional defensive model. The excursion combines Soviet and US Army warfighting doctrines to develop realistic expenditure rates and resupply requirements. The authors provide the decision maker with some recommendations to fully test and improve the current, as well as the emerging doctrines to support the AirLand battlefield with ammunition.
